On a serious note, someone who is infected with the measles virus suffers from high fever, red, watery eyes, cough, runny nose and a rash that spreads throughout the body. The virus also weakens the immune system and may lead to complications such as blindness, encephalitis, diarrhoea, lung infections, etc. These complications can often cause measles-related deaths, one-third of which occur in India.
